Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 1 ¼ cups dark brown sugar
- ¾ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice seasoning
- 12 ounces marshmallow fluff
- ½ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate melting chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the browned butter. To brown the butter, melt it in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it develops a nutty aroma and brown bits form.
- Add the dark brown sugar, white sugar, and pumpkin puree to the browned butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and eggs, whisking again until fully incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and pumpkin spice seasoning—into the wet mixture all at once.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until the batter is thick and smooth with no lumps.
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Scoop dollops of marshmallow fluff onto the batter and use a spoon to spread it into an even layer.
- Pour the remaining batter over the marshmallow layer, spreading it evenly to cover.
- Bake the bars on the bottom rack for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the pumpkin layer comes out with only moist crumbs.
- Allow the bars to cool completely for about an hour before handling.
- When ready to serve, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Pumpkin S’mores Bars.
- Slice into squares, serve, and enjoy!
